Weather warning. Independent risk meteorologists British Weather Services predict that from early next week the UK will once again be plunged into a period of icy chaos.

Senior risk meteorologist Jim Dale said: “Another week to 10 days of ice and snow is on the cards and within that period we will see temperatures plummet to as low as -12 in places, along with the return of disruptive snow in many areas.”

“The snow will initially affect eastern counties, but will become more widespead as next week unfolds, with most areas eventually seeing some significant falls.”

Jim added: “The country can again expect disruption to it’s infrastructure, especially travel, with widespread school closures and possible power outages likely to add to the overall misery.”
